We stopped at a Walmart in west Texas today. The first thing that I noticed was that there were NO plastic bags at the check out. I have never seen this before.
BUT, I was in Midland Texas week and they are discussing banning plastic bags at the stores because of the litter. In some of these windy more desolate towns a plastic bag will just blow and blow all over and you end up with fields of them. So I am assuming that this is the case in this Walmart. Anyone know for sure?
For a small Walmart they had a REALLY good selection of clearance items. Dawn double pack of the BIG Hand Renewal dish soaps for $3.50.
6 pack of Kleenex for $3 {was $5.24} this was a great deal!
Scrubbing Bubbles bathroom cleaner double pack with a bonus toilet cleaner gel pack for $3.50 {was $4.98}.
Raid Flea spray is $5 {down from $7.66}, I did not realize this was so expensive!
Finally, in the parking lot we had lunch. When we travel we could spend $$ eating out for every meal and buying snacks at gas stations. Before we leave we pack a cooler full of meat, cheese, drinks, water, fruit, and condiments. In rubbermaid containers we pack bread, plates, plastic utensils, plus tons of snacks. For breakfast {unless provided in the hotel} lunch, dinner and snacks we eat at the tail gate or in a rest stop!
A 6 pack of soda {the bottles with the tops on them} is $3.48 at Walmart. These 20oz. sodas in a gas station are $1.39 – $1.59 each! I pay $.58 by getting them at Walmart before we leave and keeping them in the cooler. We stocked up on Goldfish from the mega event sale at Kroger last month for $1 each, price matched at Walmart. The chips I got at Randalls BOGO last week and the fruit was price matched at Walmart from Fiesta grocery store. I cut all the fruit up before we left and used leftover Glade Christmas containers to store it all in. I would rather have the kids snacking on fresh fruit then junk all day in the car. Somehow a large bag of M&M’s made it in… but that is ok! We are teaching the baby her colors and that is the only way to do it right?!
What do you eat when you travel?
